I got the HK Gift Set LE that came w/ 2-Disc so that means it's the same disc 2 then. I also got the BestBuy Tin that signified that R1 has a 2-Disc before this, but I never play the 2nd disc so I don't really know what it is?

Fox Home Entertainment have announced the Region 1 DVD release of Fantastic Four (Extended Edition) for 5th June 2007 priced at $26.98 SRP. Starring Chris Evans (Cellular), Jessica Alba (Sin City, Into the Blue), Ioan Grufford (Hornblower) and Michael Chiklis (The Shield), Fantastic Four is the tale of four ordinary people who become the most fantastic superheroes the world has ever known.

The new extended cut is promoted as being 20-minutes longer than the theatrical version.

Please not the details for Disc 1 are reproduced verbatim from the info supplied to retailers by Fox, and are therefore a little raw with no real context supplied at this point…

This is a movie that has grown on me with time and viewing it on the mvie channels. It still feels like a made for tv, afternoon special for superheros. I thought all the actors were fine (Torch was best, agreed,)Thing was fine, Alba and Stretchy were decent enough (except Doom, he sucked in general).

I do look forward to the next one far more than I ever looked forward to this one. Is 5 minutes more movie going to make it better or worth double dipping... I am unsure at the moment.

I thought Elektra was the worst. I enjoyed FF and the sequel looks like it might be better. I'm glad this DVD is finally being released.

I didn't waste my time on "Elektra". Granted "Fantastic Four" wasn't THAT bad, it just went nowhere slowly. It was 2 hours of an origin story with a weak climax.
